I recall the very cheeky Swiss miss Martina Hingis and her impudent under arm serve at the 1999 French open against Graf in the final ! The disapproval from the crowd was hysterically over reaction since it’s a perfectly legitimate shot . I’m often surprised it’s not played more ! Michael Chang did it one time too .😂 Andy Roddick's serve that plugged in the clay. Murray's running backhand on Centre Court against Gasquet when he nearly ended up in the crowd. Pretty much any shot that goes round the net post. Federer hitting a tweener against Djoko, I think in the US Open. Djoko applauded. There's tons.

I P Knightley Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 J Murray through comfortably in the doubles. Delta variant doubles match on court 8 just now. A Murray scheduled to play last on Centre Court (again). I really suspect he'll be getting pumpded oot in straight sets with this one.

Some dinky wee drops shots getting played 👍 Some great tennis being played by both of them. Murguraza has saved something like 26 of 30 break points halfway through the 3rd set, never gives up, but then Jabeur keeps coming. Hawkeye playing its part too, with several challenges and calls being reversed with balls in/out by 1 or 2mm. Looking like Jabeur is going to do it now, going up a double break in the 3rd.

However as I’ve said the French clay seems to be a stumbling block for many legends . McEnroe never won it . Martina N only twice , Serena 3 times I think ? And so many others whereas some players excelled at it like Nadal , Seles etc I think if players are brought up playing on it then they tend to do well. I don’t particularly enjoy clay court tennis. Just looks so much slower and pedestrian than other playing surfaces. Nadal does well on it due to the amount of spin he is able to generate.

I got a wee E/W bet on her to win the title (1/2 odds if runner-up) at 28/1 earlier in the week. The women's title is so open and up for grabs, that it was worth a punt as she has a very good grass court game. First remember seeing her play a couple of years ago when she wiped the court with Konta (I think) at one of the pre-Wimbledon grass court events.
